Portraits Taken, Rain or Shine Portraitists ox Particular People (Obiter Dicta” in the Kansas City Star) On the train, rolling along through the rich Missouri river bottom Jands, I met a friend of other years and asked him how the Germans in his city would align themselves. ) “Oh,” he said, “most of them are loyal, practically all of them will shed the hyphen. Let me tell you a story: ‘“‘About twenty business men in my part of town lunch together every day. One of them was a German-American—with a big hyphen. He mon- opolized the conversation every day, bragging about the German soldiers, German kultur, etc. All of us got mighty tired of it, but said nothing. (Here is an American trait. He hates egotism, but is gentlemanly enough to endure a great deal of it.) Well, I was the most impatient of the group, and finally ventured a word or two. “I said, ‘You were born in this city, were you not?’ ““‘Yes." ‘““‘Your father came here about 1849 or '50?" ““Yes.” “ ‘Do you know why he left Germany?’ . “No.t - I “Well, I think he was one of the '48ers. He joined the revolutionists dn the endeavor to secure for Germany representative government. Bet- ::r look that up. I think you will drop your hyphen when you get the cts. “He was absent from our table for about two weeks. We were all fearful that I had hurt his feelings. When he returned he told us what he had learned. “‘When I left here that day,’ he said, ‘I went straight to the office of my eldest brother—he settled my father’s estate. I asked him why gllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIlIllIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIII“lIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIlIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIII'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE »Gossard" Model Front Lace Corsets Brassiers $2.50:t0 $5.00 # Exclusive Women's and stses Cuter Apparel 50c to $3.50 Phone 850 ~ H, H. COMINSKY, Mgr. Bemidji, Minn, Women’s and Misses’ SUIT CLEARANCE SATURDAY father came to this country. He told me that he came to save his neck he was one of the revolutionists of '48! Why had he not told me about it? Well, it was an unimportant unpleasantness! But I let him know that it was important to me. He then turned over to me all of our father’s papers. I have spent about two weeks going over them and readjusting myself. Now I want to apologize to you good men. What a fool I was, and how patient you were! No more hyphen for me! I have shed it for good! *‘Well, Saturday I took my 18-year-old boy for an all-day ride in the country. T told him the story of his grandfather’s early life. You never saw a more interested chap. When I had finished the story he looked me in.the face, his eves fairly sparkling, and said, ‘“Well, then, daddy, we are real Americans!" “‘And you bet we are! Germany may be my fatherland, but Am- erica is my mother’s land. She has nourished me, and made me pros- percus and happy. I can imagine with what joy my father renounced that autocratic government and swore allegiance to this great democracy! Away with the hyphen! Every German in this country ought to shed it! For practically every one came here to escape oppression and to find liberty!" " *y . UNCLE SAM AS A DICTATOR . The United States, drawn into the Great War against its will, may become the virtual dictator of the world before the war is over. Realiz- ing that they are dependent upon the United States to feed them as well as to furnish the money and men needed to win the war, the allies will undoubtedly defer greatly to the judgment of the American president in all matters of great importance. But America will drive no unfair bar- bargain. The Stars and Stripes will float to the breeze on the crimson fields of France, but justice and humanity will march beneath its folds. No matter what any shriveled brained admirer of the kaiser may think about the United States and its entry into the war, America will not stop until she has knocked Prussianism off the perch and world peace and Lumanity is insured, take what it will and as long as it will. Your Uncle Samuel never backed up in his history and isn’t going to do so mow for Germany or any other country on the globe. ."How much do you fellows get out of it?”” queried a resident of Be- midji of a loyal banker who is seeking to help the government finance the ‘war to protect the questioner. For shame! .Golden Valley, N. D., has dropped the study of German from its high 8chool course. We fail to see any reason for such an act, although some other schools have done the same thing. Enit a pair of wristlets, girlie. Your act may save a soldier's life. ‘We have, also, the hogs of war—the Zood speculators. Arm, farm, or skiddoo!
